Re: [SLE] messages from kmail are refused...

hello Francis, probably you made your suse mailing list address default...I did not, and when I try to send a message to the list the "from" and "reply to" fields are ok, but kmail (I think) is playng games with me and sets the "return path" to my primary address, which the suse server won't like because it's not subscribed...
I thought "Return-Path" was usually set by the MTA (sendmail, postfix, qmail, etc...). So KMail would have no effect on it. Since you log in under the main address, the MTA assumes that is the "Return-Path". It does not matter what the "Reply-To" address is. The best solution is to have all mail go to your primary address. And then use procmail to put stuff from the SuSE list into another mailbox file. That way the sending address is always the same as "Return-Path". -- Robert Wohlfarth rjwohlfar@galaxyinternet.net "Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes?" -- Matthew 6:25b
I'm still wondering what exactly is going on... I see your point (by the way qmail is my MTA, but I'm not on the server); thats probably what I'll do. thanks dragos rjwohlfar@galaxyinternet.net wrote:

Ah, well in that case you can do the sorting in your .qmail-default file. See the "condredirect" program. In my case, I wrote a Perl program to grep the headers of an e-mail message. That way I can sort by just the headers, and not the e-mail text. But a small bash script that uses the real grep would work too. I'd be happy to send you a copy of my .qmail-default and the Perl script. Just e-mail me off the list... -- Robert Wohlfarth rjwohlfar@galaxyinternet.net "Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes?" -- Matthew 6:25b
